lean citizen, as he put it, not as mayor
of New York. He hoped to live to see
the day when the queen would crown
the many noble acts of her great reign
by granting parliament on College
Green, in Dublin, as he saw no reason
why Ireland could not have her own
legislation just as much as the state of
New York. This expression of opinion
in favor of home rule was greeted with
an outburSt of applause. At the con-
cluSion of the ceremonies the audience
joined in the chorus, singing "God Save

POLICE GUARD FANEUIL HALL.

piled to the committee which waited on
him to-day and requested him to veto
the permit granted To British subjects
to celebrate the queens jubilee in
Faneuil hall tonight, that he had no
power in the premises, SO the celebra-
ton was held. Probably no meeting
ever held in Boston created such intense
excitement. So bitter were the Irish
men that violence was feared. Before
7o'clock groups of men and boys began
to gather around the hall and
their numbers were rapidly aug
mented until the square was nearly
filled with people. In very few min
utes detail of police arrive, then an
other came, and still another, with Dep
uty Supt. Burrill in command, till over
100 officers were on the ground. and or
ders were given to keep the walks and
the space in front of the entrance to the
hall clear. Carriages soon began to ar
rive, and as their occupants alighted
each gentleman was obliged to show his
ticket to the blue-cOated sentrieS before
he could gain admission to the hail.
Aside from one or two arrests for drunk
enneSS, there had been no disturbance
whatever. By p. M, the hour for
holding the banquet, Dock square and
the approach to Faneuil hall therefrom
had become

with people and the other streets lead
ing into Faneuil Hall square also con-
tanned large crowds. Then orders were
given to drive the crowds back and rope
off the streets. This was done by the
police whose number had been increased
by the arrival of squad of mounted
officers, but not until some vigorous
clubbing had been done. In the rush at
the Dock square approach an officers
horse stumbled and knocked down a
young lad. who is reported to have died
from his injuries. The ropes were
stretched at last and none were allowed
to enter Faneuil Hall square unless pro-
vided with ticket to the banqet or
known to the police. The crowds seemed
awe-Struck at the elaborate provisions
made for preserving peace and appeared
to have moderated the powers of the
city authorities to keep order. One or
two speakers harrangued the crown in
the hall be burned, but this sentiment
didn't meet with much favor. Aside
from the shouting and confusion incl
dent to the large crowd, there was no
disturbances as late arrivals at the
banquet forced their way in carriages
through the dense thrOng. Escorted by
police, they were loudly Missed, but no
violence was attempted. The banquet
is still in progress. 1t is feared that
some trouble may arise when the guests
are departing, but it is believed that
the police can check any such demon
